We already have the first CPU-Z capture of the future second-generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X processor with 32 cores and 64 processing threads. This is the company's new top-of-the-line silicon, which promises to sour Intel's existence.

Details of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X

This 12nm Pinnacle Ridge processor seems to have been dubbed the Threadripper 2990X, thereby opening the door for AMD to maintain the 2920X nomenclature for 12 cores and 1950X for 16 cores, then a 2960X 20 cores, a 2970X 24 cores, a 2980X 28-core, and the 2990X 32-core. What is not known is whether AMD will also offer a 10-core model, which would serve as a bridge between the Ryzen range for AM4 and these Threadrippers.

The CPU-Z screenshot shows the Threadripper 2990X operating at a base frequency of 3.4 GHz with a turbo speed of up to 4.0 GHz thanks to the use of XFR technology, all with a TDP of 250 W, a figure that seems a Miracle for a 32-core processor, the secret would be in the use of the best hand-selected Pinnacle Ridge dies, something that was already done with the Summit Ridge of the first generation Ryzen.

This impressive processor was overclocked up to 4.2 GHz on all cores, causing some thermal throttling, as performance was lower than when the chip was running at 4 GHz on all cores. The maximum overclock without thermal throttling was 4.12 GHz, a speed with which the chip scored 6, 399 points in Cinebench.

This Threadripper 2990X is a sample of the great virtue of the Zen architecture in creating processors with many cores.
